  • Women's outer garments such as dresses, blouses and the like, are designed to properly fit the woman's body including the bust portion. To accomplish this, it has been proposed to use a curved sew line adjacent to the bust line to attach two or more panels of material. Examples of prior types of garments having curved sew lines are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,523,304 to Nobles and U.S. Patent No.
